It is no coincidence that our ancestors saw fit to ensure the cultivation of one vegetable in particular for our benefit and survival. They discovered its worth for many aspects of health without ever knowing the science or biochemical explanations. However, it now appears they did associate one of its most important health-giving qualities to an obvious clue - appearance. Take a closer look at the beloved beet and see for yourself. Discover the treasure trove of abundant plant or "photo"-nutrient wealth that it bestows and then prepare yourself for the surprisingly best beet benefit of all - one that will undoubtedly change the level of your vitality and the course of your health in very exciting areas.
Harness the power of beets to radically transform your health.

He pursued his post-doctoral training as a Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University School of Medicine in the Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute. Dr. Bryan joined the Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, in June 2006. Dr. Bryan’s research is dedicated to providing a better understanding of the key role nitric oxide plays in health and disease. He devoted 12 years of research into diagnosing nitric oxide (N-O) insufficiency and natural strategies to restore N-O production in the body. What was discovered may provide the basis for new preventive and therapeutic strategies in diseases associated with N-O insufficiency and new fundamental guidelines for optimal health.
Dr. Bryan has published a number of highly cited papers and authored or edited 4 books.
